I don’t have a lathe and have an idea to turn the wood cylinder.The way is showed below:

To turn the main cylinder I used my Bosch trimmer router and drill machine to keep the wood turning.Today this router has a plunge base but at that time I used the fixed base and made the cut steps slowly.It was safe,accurate and easy.

The router made a smooth surface and perfect roundHow I made the groovesHow I sanded

The spacers keep the cylinder far to MDF walls

The nut

I decided to put two more bars to avoid the jaw bend over a big load.The carpet protect soft wood and delicate materialsThe dark wood is denser and keep the bech stableI screwed this part over leg.

In Brazil we have more than 350 native species of usable wood.Some are forbidden to cut.

I used two brazilian woodsThe dark one is “maçaranduba” ( cientific name is Manilkara amazônica) dense as IpeThe lighter is “peroba mica” ( cientific name is Aspidosperma macrocarpon) a good quality wood.
